Commercial Appliance Service Tips for the Kitchen

​A commercial kitchen only functions as well as its equipment. While every restaurant or catering company understands the need for routine visits from a commercial appliance service, it is beneficial to learn about primary care tips to keep equipment performing in-between visits.
​

Five Tips for Refrigeration

A commercial service will perform the challenging tasks involved in refrigerator and freezer maintenance. However, some custodial duties are up to the owner, ensuring that their refrigeration systems continue running without causing a business interruption.

1.Keep units dry:
Slips and falls in refrigeration units are not uncommon. By paying special attention and drying floors in the walk-in, you ensure employee safety and prevent coils from freezing up.

2.Keep tubes and drains free of debris:
Drain pans and tubes often attract sludge and slime, leading to freezing. The freezing of these parts can lead to damage to the refrigeration system.

3.Check gaskets:
Gaskets can split and crack, leading to cool air leakages. Additionally, dirt and grease can reduce these items' life expectancy, so routine cleaning is essential.

4.Clean coils:
At least once every few months, it would be best if you cleaned the condenser and evaporator coils. These components are critical to the proper functioning of your system.
​

5.Check air filters:
Ventilation is vital to the operation of your refrigerator units. Too much dust or debris on the air filters can lead to poor ventilation, leading to other costly issues down the road.
​

Three Tips for Fryers

Most commercial kitchens rely on several appliances, like fryers, to keep food flowing to diners. Routine appliance repair aside, there are several things you can do to ensure your fryers keep working as expected.

1.Clean combustion fans:
A fryer’s combustion fans are essential to its operation. These fans should be cleaned at least once per month to prevent damage to the unit.

2.Monitor for gas leaks:
Gas leaks are dangerous. Check for leaks every four to six weeks by spraying gas supply hoses with soapy water. Bubbles indicate a leak. Also, if you smell gas at any time, stop what you are doing and check the system.

3.Boil out the fryer routinely:
It helps maintain a system if you boil out your fryer at least once per week. Fat and carbon build up on the heating element and in the tank with frequent use and can impede performance.
​

Two Tips for Grills, Ranges, and Griddles

There are few pieces of equipment more important than the range, grills, or griddles when discussing kitchen appliances. Grill, griddle, and range maintenance ensure a kitchen can operate at full capacity, but there are a couple of things you need to do to keep these appliances working until the next technician visit.

1.Check grease filters:
Buildups of grease potentially restrict airflow, affecting evenness and cooking times. You want to clean or replace filters on overhead exhaust units to prevent such buildups.

2.Clean burners, flattops, or grates:
Every day, workers should scrub down all surfaces of cooking equipment. At least once per month, a more thorough cleaning should be performed, like soaking.

How long has it been since your commercial kitchen was serviced? Contact a CASCO representative to schedule an appointment and equipment assessment.

Thanks for helping me understand that gaskets need to be free from dirt and grease as well as cracks to prevent leakages and other issues. I can imagine how a commercial refrigeration repair service would be important if these kinds of issues appear. It would save the restaurant from having food items that are spoiled to prevent wasting resources and money.

Thanks for mentioning that ventilation is the key to the operation of the refrigerator units. I'm hoping to get some new parts for my commercial fridge because I've noticed that it isn't working super well. I'd like to hire someone this week to help me install them.

It's interesting when you said that for any fans on your property, you should have proper maintenance to prevent problems. The other night, my uncle told me that he was planning to get their range repaired as they heard strange noises when they used it, and he asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to do. Thanks to this informative article, I'll tell him that they can consult a well-known appliance repair service as they can provide preventative measures to prevent problems.

I was captivated when you mentioned that a fryer’s combustion fans are critical to its function. My friend wants a fryer that is energy efficient. I should advise him to look for a supplier that provides a wide selection of commercial fryers.

I want to make sure that my kitchen doesn't have any issues. I'd imagine that the same maintenance tips done in a residential kitchen would be just as effective. I'll make sure that I check for gas leaks occasionally to ensure that there aren't any issues.

I have an uncle who wants to invest in a friend's project, so he's currently looking for more information on restaurant equipment. I liked what you mentioned about keeping your kitchen equipment well-maintained to avoid costly interruptions due to a breakdown, so I'll make sure my uncle gets this. Thanks for the insight on commercial kitchens and how to keep your refrigerators and freezers in good shape.

I'm glad you mentioned the importance of regularly checking the air filters of your refrigeration because ventilation is crucial. Along with that, I imagine it would be smart to hire professionals to inspect the entire refrigeration system routinely. They'll have the proper equipment and skills to keep your system running effectively.

I never took into account the fact that tubes ad drains that get frozen can lead to damage in the system. I can imagine how important it is to follow these pieces of advice to prevent downtimes in your restaurants. And the owner should already have a commercial walk-in freezer repair professional's contact number in their records to quickly call them if such issues cannot be avoided.
